Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which force and property have the greatest effect on the orbit of a planet?
A
atmospheric pressure and diameter
B
gravitational force and mass
C
atmospheric pressure and temperature
D
gravitational force and temperature
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The gravity of each object pulls on every other object. The more massive the object, the stronger the pull. The sun is by far the most massive object in the solar system, so its gravitational field is the strongest, which is why planets orbit the sun.

Detailed explanation-2: -First, gravity is the force that pulls us to the surface of the Earth, keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun and causes the formation of planets, stars and galaxies.

Detailed explanation-3: -A planet’s size and mass determines its gravitational pull. A planet’s mass and size determines how strong its gravitational pull is. Models can help us experiment with the motions of objects in space, which are determined by the gravitational pull between them.
